Navigating Disconcertment in Map-Making: How to Turn Conflict and Collaboration into Accessible Geodata

The paper explores the role of maps as epistemic tools in the Stadt.Geschichte.Basel project, emphasizing how spatial data dynamics and moments of disconcertment foster interdisciplinary collaboration. By embracing ambiguity and conflict in map-making, the authors create accessible, inclusive outputs that reimagine historical narratives and advance participatory scholarship. This paper is presented at the Digital Humanities 2025 conference at Universidade Nova in Lisbon. A video recording of the presentation is also available on Zenodo.
